How to Make Fake Blood

In our title sequence we will be using fake blood.Because of this we went on youtube and found a video telling us how to make it.However when attempting it the 'blood' didn't turn out like the one in the video and so we decided to buy some online.

Pitch evaluation

Overall the pitch was good as people had given us high scores out of ten.When asked what we did well people were saying the Mise-en-scene(the location and setting) was very detailed as we had screenshots of maps which told us how long the journey would take from school and pictures of the actual location.However we hadn't completely finished the storyboard so it was unclear to people what the plot was and the layout of the entire pitch could have been easier to navigate if we used different websites like emaze.To conclude the pitch was a success as everyone seemed to like the choice of genre and what the film is about.

Second day of filming

MOORFIELDS EYE HOSPITAL

  

when shooting outside moorfields eye hospital we had no issues as we asked permission to film and they said yes plus we took many shots from different angles and try some pano shots.Although the weather was cold we were prepared by bringing gloves and warm coats so that we could get as many shots as we could.However there were some cars passing down the street and one card moved from a parking spot which is bad as that would make us have some continuity issues but once the street was clear we re-shoot any scenes where cars were moving to much or if the shots weren't in focus.

2. What type of title sequence is it ? (Souhila )

For our film we are going to have a stylised/discrete title sequence as there will be writing on moving images and on a black screen.two film title sequences that have inspired our title are black swan and the seven as they create suspense and make the audience want to know more as they don't give to much away about what the film about . We also looked at the title sequence from beautiful creatures as it' has more of a fantasy vibe to it.For our title sequence we are not going to conform because it's not just a thriller like the seven but it has a fantasy aspect to it to then make it a sub-genre and so it will be unique.

task 9: blog task 30: sound design (souhila)

We will be using non-diegetic and diegetic sound for our title sequnce. The non-diegetic sound will consist of soundtracks that will help to set the mood within the sequence e.g. we will be using a soundtrack called 'Dark Magic', which comes from the film 'Beautiful Creatures' (our film idea inspiration). This soundtrack will set a negative, mysterious and haunting tone to the scene, which will have an effect on the audience, as this soundtrack will draw their attention and want them to  keep watching our title sequence.

11.Cinematic Details -Full storyboard

The pitch

1.The Film(jayah)

Film Title

TRAUMA

• Our film is called trauma, this is very appropriate as our film focuses on a traumatic event and how exactly this teenager deals with it throughout the film

• In the opening title sequence it will begin with the audience immediately knowing the setting we are in which is a hospital as the camera pans the hospital it then cuts into a specific hospital room where we see a girl laying in a straight white bed.  as she begins to wake up she starts to then see things which are not there, for example she picks up a butter knife but ends up seeing a bloody kitchen knife, instead of seeing a clear glass of water she sees a overflowing glass of blood.
• Our title sequence will really be made effective by the editing produced after the film, to make the sudden camera cuts effective we will add flashes as shown in the title sequence in seven. 

13.Risk Assessment(jayah) (task 40)

Some Risks To Identify

• When at the canal we need to make sure that we stand as far away from the waters edge as possible as we don't want any equipment getting damaged however we also need to make sure are shots look as focused as possible so my solution for this is that at least 2 people should help with the filming even if we have to ask for extra support as our group only consists of 3 people

• location wise we still have yet to find a specific location for our hospital scene so that alone is a major risk but if we don't find a location we could always set up a hospital setting in our collage common room

• another risk is that we could be filming in the rain as it is the middle of November so to prevent this we would have to check weather before hand so we know what types of conditions we will be in to so we can prepare.if we go out with the equipment and it does happen to rain and we only get half of the intended filming done we will have to endure that the day we do decide to finish off that the weather is relatively the same,this is important because we do want our footage to add up once it comes to editing

• another risk we will have to consider about the canals is the caution we take towards other people using these canals and how we may disrupt them so we will be sure to be polite and even consider changing the actual stretch of canal we use to film as there have also been insolents of violence at the stretch we intend to use

• a final risk we have to consider is the use of knifes and the fact that we have to safe while using them , this will be done by using the kitchen knife in controlled settings such as the college and not walking around with them unless made necessary 

12.Production schedule - Nicole (task 38)

6.Audience detail (jayah)

Looking at all of the information we have concluded that our target audience is men and women aged 25-39 who are from London and the south coast and have professions in the entertainment industry  who are left wing and save about £1000 or more monthly

4.representation(jayah)

Characters we will introduce:
our title sequence will only star 2 people
on of the characters presented is a young girl who spends the majority of the title sequence in a hospital bed, this is the main character who suffers from trauma and so slowly seems to be loosing hr mind

The second character presented is not actually there but a figure of  the main characters imagination and only really appears in times of stress and in a flash, this is the main character trying to conger up a images of who her killer actually was.

There is only one social group presented in this film which is teenagers and the fact that our voices are not heard, the main character experiences this as she tries to express how she is feeling to her guidance concealer and doctors but is always dismissed as she is too young or to stupid to understand what is actually going on . she faces prejudice and at times ageism and sexism which can be very easy for our audience to relate to

10.Title Credits(Souhila)-task 36

For the title sequence, our group decided to use a similar font to the one in the film, 'Beautiful Creatures'. we decided to use this type of font because it represents our genre very well, which is a hybrid genre of thriller and fantasy. The intergration of the action will move at a steady paste to keep up with the soundtrack and the movement of the wording in the frame.

What we would like are title credits to look like are similar to the font used in the Seven title sequences but in white behind both black and moving images.We were also thinking of adding a fantasy aspect to it and making it like the font used in the film Beautiful Creatures as it is more angelic and earthy than the Sevens.
So to conclude, as a group we have decided to use slow movement for the title sequence, and a similar font to the one used in the film 'Beautiful Creatures', as it connects and represents the genre of our film very well.

8.Mise-en-Scene-props,makeup (task 37)-Nicole

When creating are title sequence we are going to use a chair /bed for are  main character to sit on and see moving.We are also going to see both a butter knife and a chef Knife with fake blood on it so see the traumatic effects almost being murdered has on her.We may also use a plate of food or a glass /drink turning into fake blood or another disgusting substance.The costume we see the main character  wearing is a pair of pyjamas and we see the killer wearing all black.We are also going to use a glass bottle of some kind to try and kill her.The killer is suppose to have scary eyes and so Souhila is going to wear coloured contacts and Jayah is going to have makeup to create the illusion of a bruised face from falling on the ground.

7.Mise-en-scene-Location & Setting(task 37)-Nicole

To create are Title sequence we are going to try and find a hospital or Gp setting and if not a medical room in a local school as are main character is suppose to be in a comma and then wake up on a bed.We will first shoot the outside of hospital and the hospital we chose to shot at is Richard desmond children's eye centre at moorfields eye hospital.

As we can't film in an actual hospital we are going to film in the library at our school  as it has a hospital bed in the back.

When we see are main character having a flashback to when she was almost killed we see her at a canal .the canal we chose to film at Limehouse cut canal which is about 40 minutes from school.

Delegation of pitch tasks

Task 1,4 and 6 will be completed by jayah ,Task 2,9 and 10 will be completed by Souhila and Task 3,7,8 and 12 will be completed by Nicole.The rest (task 5 and 11) will be completed as a group

target audience tastes and prefrences

3.What genre of film is it?(task 31)-Nicole

What genre of film is it?
In my group we decide to do a Thriller but are going to make it a sub-genre and add some fantasy or drama 
aspect  to it to make it more interesting and unique.We chose a thriller as it is all our favorite genre type and seems the most relevant to our age group to go see.One Title sequence that has inspired us has been the seven because of the way the shots are  jump and how one minute we see someting and the next minute its gone and yet everything comes together smoothly and so we are going to try and aim for a similar fantasy like type of sequence where the shots are moving every but in a less sinister way.Another sequence that has inspired us is Gone Girl even though it is completely different form the seven title sequence the background music makes the sequences look more like a thriller and it sets a tone for the whole film which we would like to do for ours.Also 
 in the Gone girl title sequence they use both black and moving images as background for the credits which makes it intresting and makes the audience want to continue watching because it isn't giving to much away which creates mystery and thats what we are trying to protrey. 

Title sequence inspiration

task 34

initial individual & group ideas

In my group we decide to do a Thriller and so  i am going to make the title sequence be a sub-genre and add some fantasy or drama aspect  to it to make it more interesting and unique.I came up with three ideas which i will develop later on and hopefully make it the title sequence we choose at the end.Idea number 1 is that the film will be about someone in the CIA whose family was killed in an mysterious 'accident' which was found out later be on purpose and we see in the title sequence them trying to figure out who and why the killer did it.My secound idea is that Two sisters get arrested for a crime they didn't commit and have to look back at thier memories to figure out who framed them and in the title sequence we see them in a room and on a board we see pictures of suspects and the two sisters solving the case. My final idea is that someone was almost killed and ended up in a coma and someone has to look in their mind to see who and in the title sequence we see a look into there  mind  and them at the end opening up their eyes.

Task 23: Feedback

Institutional detail (task 32)

Our film is going to be mainstream as it will be in many cinemas worldwide including cinemas like vue,the 02 and cineworld.Our film will be distributed with the fox searchlight pictures who will get the film turned into Blu-ray,Dvd and digital once it stops playing in cinema's.Some distribution companies similar to ours is Columbia triStar Warner films and Warner Bros.Films similar to ours that the company has distributed are Black swan,Sunshine and 28 days later.This makes Fox searchlight pictures a good choice because all these thrillers are highly rated and have had both good box office and dvd sales which suggests we could also have good box office and dvd sales.The ownership of the film could affect the titles and credits in our title sequence as the name of the company who owns the film will need to be shown after the production companies(the ident) and if the company changes then the credits will then need to be changed on our film.

task 24-my individual ideas for my group title squence

Because our chosen genre is a thriller i was thinking we could go along the lines of there being some kind of psychological chase and being under pressure for example the film along came a spider, consists of al lot of suspense and mystery

To develop our ideas we had to try and figure out how we would be able to film a thriller and thought about the title sequence of seven and beautiful creatures, these 2 title sequences both consist of jiggy features and suspense, beautiful creatures is much more elegant and has really nice writing which we could embed after filming.

Task 26-initial ideas group discussion and shortlist of ideas

For our title sequence brainstorm most of our ideas clashed because we wanted to go down different routes for example i wanted to do a psychological kind of thriller and than another person wanted to do a crime investigation so we decided to incorporate both and have a crime investigation following a psychopath
our idea follows the events after a young girl who was almost murdered, as she sits in a hospital room in a heavy coma the mystery is trying to figue out who was behind her almost murder through some unusual clues left of the victims body
we have looked at some locations which would be perfect for filiming for example;
-local swimming pool
-a park

-train station
-highway

The 6 minute challenge- reflection on ides

In our group it was fairly easy to come up with an idea for the prop and location we were given because they are similar(a cheese sandwich and a playground setting)so we easily came up with the genre teen drama

We had so many ideas for the our actual title sequence that the only difficult thing was deciding what idea to use and develop.
our ideas really consisted of high school drama and how it could effect relationships in general  think if this was our actual title sequence than we could easily develop it because the ideas of a young love kind of romance would be easily to plan however it could be hard to film due to the lack of people in our group
